he wants to do some long-term spending reduction on the de deficit. republicans say don't trust him. i don't think republicans will be swayed by the cbo report. they have what they see as a mandate from voters, cut spending. >> let me bring in congressman john yarmuth. what would you like to see? >> i think some of the spending you mentioned could be very youthful. some of the farm subsidies that are unjustified. i'd like to consider a securities transaction pack, the so called wall street packs that can raise tens of billions of dollars. and we can do some cutting, but in that cbo report that you mentioned, it also said that the kind of austerity program which the sequester would represent would be damaging to the recovery, would hurt gdp, and, of course, that's in line with what most economists believe. i think we've got to be very careful when we just say we've got a cut, without regard to the impact of those cuts, both on the economy and on some very important programs. >> you know what the republicans' answer to that is. they say one of the conce

it doesn't meet the entire deficit, if you will. they're losing $16 billion a year, and this is important. you've got to understand why they're losing it. the biggest reason they're losing so much money is because they, unlike any other government entity, they are forced to pay in advance for the retirement medical benefits of their retirees even before they retire. so as a result, that huge chunk of cash that they have to set aside is costing them a fortune and it is a huge drag on the postal service. second to that, yes, all of us are using e-mail and paying our bills online. and therefore first class mail has dropped off a cliff. however, package delivery has increased dramatically because you and i are shopping online and all of those packages are sent to our homes. so that's been up 14% over two years. so in the view of many, this is the postal service trying to force the hand of congress. congress has had this on their agenda for years and has failed to act, even though the postal service year after year after year comes out a
